John Lewis & Waitrose Partnership
A new partnership was launched between Home-Start, FareShare, John Lewis and Waitrose starting with their famous Christmas Advertising Campaign, celebrating kindness as they encourage the nation to ‘Give A Little Love’.
This exciting new campaign aims to raise £5m for the work of Home-Start schemes across the country and FareShare through a nationwide effort to encourage communities and customers to embrace the Christmas spirit and give what they can.

Co-op Local Community Fund
Thank you to the Co-op for continued support of Home-Start Telford & Wrekin through their Local Community Fund.
We are one of three causes in the community which Co-op members can select to support between now and 23rd October 2021 – the more members who select us, the more funds we can receive.
You can become a member of the Co-op today by clicking on the link below and choosing Home-Start Telford & Wrekin as your charity.
Gifts in kind
When companies, organisations and retailers within our local community donate gifts in kind, it saves us money. It means we don’t have to buy certain items that we need, so reducing our running costs.
In kind donations can be large or small and every donation helps.
We have been very fortunate over the past few years to have formed partnerships with Waitrose in Newport, Morrisons in Wellington, and Asda at Telford Town Centre.
Telford & Wrekin Council Working in Partnership
to combat digital exclusion
Telford & Wrekin Council, in close partnership with Balfour Beatty, recently donated 5 laptops to Home-Start Telford & Wrekin.
Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood, Commercial Services and Regeneration, Lee Carter said; “Telford & Wrekin Council has a strong partnership with Balfour Beatty that extends beyond building roads and maintaining our infrastructure”.
“There are still significant levels of digital exclusion, for example in the UK 4,800,000 people never go online at all for various reasons. Whenever we identify an opportunity with partners to support residents, we will always do our best to follow these up.”
Well, it’s not every week Home-Start Telford & Wrekin receives the contents of a fully furnished show home!
To help families hardest hit by the pandemic, Keepmoat Homes has kindly donated the entire contents of their show home based in Lightmoor Village to Home-Start Telford & Wrekin so that they can provide families with a range of household items as well as fundraising by selling unwanted items.
